We came to the Emirates Stadium wondering if this might be a watershed evening
in the decline, and fall, of the Arsène Wenger empire. But that would load
the occasion with historic significance when this, depressingly, was just
more of the same.

Terrible defending, an absence of leadership (the admirable Jack Wilshere
aside), a team without a striker. So far so predictable. When the supporters
have seen it all against Bradford City and Blackburn Rovers, it was hardly a
surprise that Bayern Munich should brutally expose all the same fragilities.
